Super Falcons star, Asisat Oshoala has received a warm farewell ceremony from Bay FC, a National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) club, as she gets ready to represent Nigeria in the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.
SportXparte reports that Oshoala, who transferred from FC Barcelona to the American women’s football club earlier this year, is among the 18 players selected by coach Randy Waldrum for the Olympics scheduled from July 26 to August 11.
During the send-off event organized by Bay FC to honour their players participating in the Paris Olympics, Oshoala was presented with a bouquet and draped in a Nigerian flag.
The 29-year-old player was photographed standing behind a large poster displaying the club’s name, alongside other Bay FC footballers set to represent their countries at the tournament.
Notable players include Rachael Kundananji, who will compete for Zambia, and Lysianne Proulx, who will represent Canada at the Olympics. Asisat Oshoala is set to join her Super Falcons teammates in Sevilla, Spain, as they begin preparations for the upcoming games.
The Super Falcons, absent from the Games since 2008, are determined to make a significant impact in Paris this summer. Drawn in Group C, they will face tough competition from Spain, Japan, and Brazil.
